Cathedral of the Assumption

Cathedral of the Assumption

The Cathedral of the Assumption is the Kremlin's oldest and most important church. It stands on the site of Moscow' s first stone cathedral built by Ivan Kalita In the 14th century. The largest edifice of its time in Russia, the Cathedral of the Dormition was built in 1475-1479 under the supervision of the Italian architect Aristotile Fioravanti after the model of the 12th-century Cathedral of the Dormition in the ancient Russian city of Vladimir. A year after the construction of the cathedral, Moscow became the capital of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, and later the capital of all Rus. The cathedral's history clearly reflects its important role as Russia's central church for more than 400 years.

Arthur is AMAZING !!! I visited Volgograd for a few days in December '06 & when I was at the airport in Volgograd waiting for my flight to Moscow, I found out that the flight to Moscow was to be re-directed from Sheremetyevo to Domodedovo. I sent a frantic text message to Arthur asking if he could drive like a lunatic from SVO to Domodedovo to meet me. When I arrived at Domodedovo, Arthur was there to meet me ! Now that is A+ customer service !!! If you are ever visiting Moscow, hire Arthur. He is a true professional !!!
